The debut recording by (this was still pre-) on Atlantic Records, the same label that gave us Blacknuss and Volunteered Slavery, is not the blowing fest one might expect upon hearing it for the first time. In fact, producer and label boss Neshui Ertegun weren't prepared for it either. Had come to Atlantic from Emarcy after recording his swan song for them, the gorgeous, in April. In November decided to take his quartet of pianist, bassist, and drummer and lead them through a deeply introspective, slightly melancholy program based in the blues and in the groove traditions of the mid-'60s. Himself used the flutes, the strich, the Manzello, whistle, clarinet, saxophones, and more -- the very instruments that had created his individual sound, especially when some of them were played together, and the very things that jazz critics (some of whom later grew to love him) castigated him for. Well, after hearing the restrained and elegantly layered 'Black and Crazy Blues,' the stunning rendered 'Creole Love Call,' the knife-deep soul in 'The Inflated Tear,' and the twisting in the wind lyricism of 'Fly by Night,' they were convinced -- and rightfully so.

Won over the masses with this one too, selling over 10,000 copies in the first year. This is at his most poised and visionary; his reading of jazz harmony and fickle sonances are nearly without peer.
